Obviously, the fat man is one of the main characters. But there might also be other characters who interact with him, like those who judge him or those who are his friends (if he has any in the story).
Well, it might be about the human condition in general. The fat man could be a symbol of the outsider in society. His story could show how society often marginalizes those who don't fit the 'normal' physical or social norms. The story could also be exploring the concept of self - acceptance in the face of social judgment.
There could be many 'fat men' in various history stories. Without more context, it's hard to be specific. It could be a character who was physically fat and had a significant role in a particular historical event or period.
Perhaps the 'fat man' was a religious figure. His significance could then be tied to his teachings and the influence he had on the religious community. His physical appearance might have been used in religious parables or stories within that community to teach lessons about humility, gluttony, or some other moral values. And his interactions with other religious leaders or his role in the development of religious institutions would be important aspects of his significance in the history of that religious group.
In the 'fat man short story', the fat man could be the central figure in a plot that involves his relationships. Maybe he has a group of friends who initially judge him because of his size, but as the story progresses, they come to see his true character. It could also be a story about his struggle with health issues related to his weight.
Sadly, I have no idea which author wrote 'the fat man short story'. It could be an unknown writer or a relatively new one. It might be a self - published story too, which makes it even harder to determine the author without more research.
The 'the fat man short story' might be about a fat man who has some sort of transformation. It could start with his normal life, perhaps a bit dull or difficult due to his weight. Then something happens, like he discovers a new hobby or meets someone special. This event could lead to a change in his attitude towards himself and his life. For example, he might start to exercise not because he wants to lose weight in the typical sense, but because he wants to be healthier for this new aspect of his life. Or it could be a story that shows the fat man as a hero in a unique situation, defying the expectations people have of him because of his physical appearance.

I'm not entirely sure who all the main characters are without reading the book. However, it's likely that there are characters related to the historical settings in which the fat man is placed. These could be people from different social classes, like a nobleman who looks down on the fat man, or a poor beggar who has an unexpected encounter with him. There might also be family members or acquaintances of the fat man that are central to some of the stories, perhaps showing different sides of his personality or how he is perceived within his own social circle.
It could be both. If it refers to a song, it's a story in the form of lyrics and music. 'Fat Bottomed Girls' by Queen is a well - known song that tells a sort of story about these girls. In a historical context, perhaps it could be related to body types that were considered in different historical periods, like in some eras where fuller figures were seen as a sign of beauty or fertility. But generally, when we first hear this phrase, we might think of the Queen song which is more of a fictional story set to music.
